Unlock Early Learning: How To Register For Preschool

Registration is opening soon for the Clover School District’s preschool program, designed to prepare 4-year-olds for kindergarten. The program helps young learners develop key skills in a positive and safe environment, according to Rebekah Benton, director of early learning and intervention.

“We are grateful for our preschool classes and thankful to the school board and district leadership for supporting early learning,” Benton said. “It’s a great opportunity for children to grow and prepare for kindergarten.”

Registration for the program opens February 26, with more details available on the district's website. The registration process includes a screening for placement eligibility, which will take place from March 17 to 28.

Since the program is needs-based, not all children who register are guaranteed placement. Preschool is a full-day program at no cost for eligible families. To apply, children must reside within the Clover School District and turn 4 on or before September 1, 2025.

The preschool program focuses on developing foundational learning skills, not on mastery of kindergarten standards. Children will engage in activities designed to foster reading, writing, and following directions, while building social skills through play and interaction with their peers. Students also have time for physical activity on the playground, where they can enjoy slides and swings. - This flows more like news. Great job!
